Champion principals head International 10

Last season’s Champion Hurdle one-two Punjabi and Celestial Halo could once again lock horns at Cheltenham after featuring among 10 possible runners in Saturday’s boylesports.com International Hurdle.

Nicky Henderson’s Punjabi is set to have his first start of the season in the Grade Two heat having gone down by a short head to Solwhit on his latest appearance at Punchestown in May.
